I can't change your mind. The global reward pool must be done away with.
The only way rewards can work is within targeted communities where the rules and the etiquette is understood for that manageable community. If the global reward pool can equitably redirected toward communities, so be it, but the future is with self monetising communities for sure.
Make your own fork then, eh?
I think NFTs and communities are the answer, running an entire fork of Hive so that 200 people can have a community is never going to be reasonable.
Neither is managing this one to only benefit 200.
I agree, more users solves many issues.
It would be nice to return to the starry eyed users we were in 2016 but, rich greedy f**ks ruined that.
Somebody I won't name made vote selling easier to hide and access, and the slope has been downhill ever since.
Nobody listens if their supper depends on not hearing.
